Yes ,you can implement your requirements using RESTFul API.in your case empty result is returned,I guess there must be something wrong with your code .following is my test ,it works fine.
{

If you just want to read topics and posts information ,you can use cmis api(also of course c# and .net). But if you want create topics and posts ,using cmis api operating on forum model directly will not work,because there are some overhead in alfresco forum implementation(for example create unique post name,generate tag) than just creating node of type forum.
